We describe the first reported case of N. veterana bacteremic pneumonia in an HIV-infected patient. The isolate was confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The patient initially responded well to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment (minimum inhibitory concentration 0.25 μg/ml), but died of ventilator-associated pneumonia. ? 2011 International Society for Infectious Diseases.[SDGs]SDG3clarithromycin; cotrimoxazole; imipenem; moxifloxacin; RNA 16S; abnormal respiratory sound; Acinetobacter baumannii; adult; article; bacterial pneumonia; blood culture; body weight; case report; coughing; death; dyspnea; hemoptysis; human; Human immunodeficiency virus infected patient; information processing; lung biopsy; lung infiltrate; male; Nocardia; Nocardia veterana; nocardiosis; nucleotide sequence; oxygenation; pathology; physical examination; pneumococcal infection; Pneumocystis pneumonia; respiratory failure; sequence analysis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; thorax radiography; ventilator associated pneumonia; Adult; AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections; Bacteremia; DNA, Bacterial; DNA, Ribosomal; Fatal Outcome; HIV Infections; Humans; Male; Nocardia; Nocardia Infections; Pneumonia, Bacterial; Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S; Sequence Analysis, DNAjournal article10.1016/j.ijid.2011.03.001214816242-s2.0-79955974098
